[1] On December 22, 2017, the Act was signed into law, which reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% resulting in a blended U.S. federal income tax rate of 33.7% based on the applicable tax rates before and after January 1, 2018, and the number of days in Fiscal 2017.
[2] Given the low level of income in absolute dollars in Fiscal 2016, effective tax rate reconciling items that may have been considered de minimis in prior years in terms of absolute dollars and on a percentage basis were amplified on a percentage basis in Fiscal 2016 even as the absolute dollar value of the reconciling items were similar to prior years. Accordingly, year over year comparability may be difficult as a result of the amplifying effect of the lower levels of income.
[3] U.S. branch operations in Canada and Puerto Rico are subject to tax at the full U.S. tax rates. As a result, income from these operations do not create reconciling items.
[4] In Fiscal 2017, the Company adopted new share-based compensation accounting standards and in accordance with this guidance, the Company recognized $10.6 million of discrete non-cash income tax charges in Fiscal 2017 in income tax expense (benefit) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
